Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients do Worse After a Heart Attack Following a heart attack, people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) suffer greater heart-related complications, including an increased risk for dying, when compared to other heart attack patients, according to research presented at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting in San Francisco. Read more ...
CARMAT SAS is an innovative medtech start-up that has just been created and financed by TRUFFLE CAPITAL , EADS and the Fondation Alain Carpentier, with additional funding from the French state innovation agency OSEO. Read more ...
Age, sex and traditional risk factors - such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and body mass - are more important predictors of heart attack in patients with rheumatoid arthritis than the use of certain medications that have been considered the link between the two and lipid-lowering medications may actually reduce this risk, according to research presented this week at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting in San Francisco, Calif. Read more ...
Chest pain - or at worst a cardiac arrest - is invariably the prelude to one of the most critical episodes of health care. Acute cardiac care, that first emergency phase in which the chest pain is assessed and its cause treated, embraces a broad spectrum of diagnoses ranging from unstable angina to acute heart failure, from myocardial infarction (with or without ST elevation) to other life-threatening disorders of the heart. Read more ...
About 5 million people in the United States suffer from heart failure (HF). While some reports indicate that changes to diet can reduce HF risk, few large, prospective studies have been conducted. In a new study researchers observed over 14,000 participants for more than 13 years and found that whole grain consumption lowered HF risk, while egg and high-fat dairy consumption raised risk. Other food groups did not directly affect HF risk. Read more ...

With so much going on and priorities being so drastically reorganized, the fact that their hair has fallen out can be easily overlooked when it doesn't have to be.
